Rev Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Ok, we all know I'm not a big fan of downloadable games. But Sega releasing this thing for a digital game? Its laughable!

bpatte02 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 If it is released. The release date has been pushed back 3 or 4 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The toy statuette is way sillier than the game media, in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepdreamin Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I don't see the problem. Shelf decorators just want the packaging. Sega's saving a bit of cash by not printing the game. Pretty genius, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Tbh.. I pre-ordered this thing since I don't even remember when... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's nothing new, they did this awhile back, other than it being back in stock meaning they made more of the things due to demand. I really can't support it nor agree with it. If you're going to go as far as make a trophy like that, put the damn game in the box. It's not asking too much. $70 just seems like a ripoff to me even given what there is in the package you can put your hands on. Let's be realistic, this will hit every system and PC and looking at their history Android too. I'm perfectly fine with how Sega reacts to their products waiting a few months for a 33-50% off sale on Steam or on Android. If they want to cheapen and diminish the value of their IP by going ghetto rental with it, I see no reason to pay retail price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpatte02 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's $70? I paid I think $35 on Amazon to preorder it back in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I searched and this was the only Sonic Mania post I could find, so I'll link the wonderful trailer here. (P.S. - Mickey Mania ... Sonic Mania ... hmmm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So I've been reading good things about Sonic mania...return to 16 bit glory and all that. It just kills me there isn't a physical release of this planned. Has anyone heard anything in that regard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I read that they were tossing the idea around for a Switch physical release, and maybe a week ago Amazon SPAIN put a physical box listing up with the art and all, could be a mock up though. Not sure if it got removed or if it's still there at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Welp, I almost cancelled the order when I heard it wasn't going to be a physical disk, but then laziness and momentum took over.. and it remained ordered for months. Anyway, holy crap.. I got this thing today. I was honestly expecting some tabletop 4" thingy but then this big ol box shows up on the doorstep. It's way bigger than I thought it was going to be, heck it's even a little bigger than a real Genesis! And then it has a friggin 12" Sonic standing on top. I got nowhere to put this thing.

Flojomojo Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Whoa! I had no idea it was so big! There's totally room in there for a Pi, a small PC board, or a family of hedgehogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 That assumes anyone bought these in any quantity, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 That assumes anyone bought these in any quantity, doesn't it? If they sold out instantly then more was added to production afterwards I'd guess at least some people bought it. I'm glad I didn't if it didn't have the cartridge, so I'll just keep an eye on the thrift stores later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) I ordered it almost a year ago on impulse without really knowing what it was. I have no idea how many were made although I do recall checking later and it was no longer available. When I ordered it it was also to take advantage of the $46 price, although I had no idea it was pretty much fully for the sculpture.
